Unknown

“That Day” – the Great Tribulation The duration of the Great Tribulation is seven years.

In Chapter 11 True Shepherd is rejected. He was sold for thirty pieces of silver, Three books of the Bible linked Exodus 21 – Zechariah 12 – Matthew 26

the church has been raptured. His arrival and acceptance Chapter 11 also refers to a false shepherd – antichrist – who will appear after the church has been raptured. His arrival and acceptance will usher in the Great Tribulation.

16 This illustrates how I will give this nation a [false] shepherd who will not care for those who are dying, nor look after the young, nor heal the injured, nor feed the healthy. Instead, this shepherd will eat the meat of the fattest sheep and tear off their hooves.”

4 “On that day,” says the Lord, “I will cause every horse to panic and every rider to lose his nerve. I will watch over the people of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of their enemies.

Lord of Heaven’s Armies, their God.’ 5 And the clans of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people of Jerusalem have found strength in the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, their God.’

6 “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a flame that sets a woodpile ablaze or like a burning torch among sheaves of grain. They will burn up all the neighbouring nations right and left, while the people living in Jerusalem remain secure.

7 “The Lord will give victory to the rest of Judah first, before Jerusalem, so that the people of Jerusalem and the royal line of David will not have greater honour than the rest of Judah.

8 On that day the Lord will defend the people of Jerusalem; the weakest among them will be as mighty as King David! And the royal descendants will be like God, like the angel of the Lord who goes before them!

9 For on that day I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem

14 Each of the surviving clans from Judah will mourn separately, and with the husbands separate from their wives.

Turn your Eyes Upon Jesus

O soul are you weary and troubled. No light in the darkness you see O soul are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There's light for a look at the Saviour, And life more abundant and free:

Through death into life everlasting He passed, and we follow Him there; Over us sin no more hath dominion For more than conquerors we are!

His Word shall not fail you—He promised; Believe Him, and all will be well: Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell!

Will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace. Turn you eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face; And the things of earth Will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace.

May your whole spirit, soul and body 23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5
